Majora's Mask hard?

[Kell]

MM was definitely harder than the more recent Zelda games, but as Ando said, the Oracle games had their moments. In my personal opinion, AoL was the hardest Zelda game I ever played.

I personally find Majora's Mask complicated, and a bit messy. I do think it's a really hard game, but in my opinion many of the things you had to do weren't very clear, and you would waste lots of time meandering around without having a clue of what you should do next, and time is something you cannot afford to lose, at least not in Majora's Mask. Therefore you must not think that this means the game is 'super hard'.

If producers had spent more time working on this game, this would surely be my favorite title of all, however I do think they didn't apply the ideas correctly, and that they could've had the greatest game of all, and to me, they failed.

I found it quite hard actually the first few times I played it but not anymore.I played it the most than any other Zelda game out there.

I never had a hard time when I first played Majora's Mask. Understanding the time concept is simple once you manage to grasp it firm in your hand. Then you have to think of the best solutions to get the job done nice and quick. It's basically speed running, except that I had an easier time making speedrun strategies for this game than the others since I could replay the many levels over and over without a care. The only difficultly came when I was getting the Fierce Deity's Mask.

Yes, and it was the concept of the three day game and the inevitable side quests which made it the hardest.
Aswell as a generally challenging final Boss.
Seriously, without the Fierce Deity Mask, Majora's Wrath is so hard to beat.

Kind of funny considering how easy it is with the mask. hah

I didn't think MM was a hard game. It was harder than it's predecessors, but it wasn't really a hard game. Getting all the heart pieces by yourself, on the other hand, now that's hard in MM (i think there's around 50 heart pieces to find).

btw, the Oracle games are CERTAINLY harder than MM. I already finished both, some puzzles were pretty hard.

I do believe MM is the hardest 3-D Zelda, and it's the one that gave me moer trouble. The game is harder than OOT. The enemies are tougher overall, and it's more difficult to figure out what to do next. But the toughest part was clearly the temples. Woodfall Temple is the hardest first dungeon in the Zelda games ever. (Altough the one in AOL is quite difficult too). But yeah, the dungeons in MM were all very complex and they were long to do. I could easily spend more than 1 hour in each temple. Also, you had mini-bosses, which some of them were tough (Wart, for example), and finally, the bosses, even the first one, were very hard and offered some challenge. The final boss, Majora, was really hard the first time I fou ght him.

But now... I can go trough MM without dying once... but the game was pretty hard when I was younger.

 

[yann]

You are correct in saying that it's the hardest Zelda to game to date, all other Zelda have been generally easy to complete.

But, has no one ever thought that it was because you got used to Zelda by MM that all the games after were just like going through another Zelda game. This would not apply to those who have played MM after most other Zelda games.

Though I've only beatn WoodFall Temple and SnowHead Temple, and also looked in ZD' walkthrough a lot (when I was bored before playing the game, I read the walkthrough because I was bored... NEVER DO THAT!), I don't really think it's that hard...

The game, without counting the stuff, it's easy, because the only hard thing would be the last two temples (the one I haven't played ).
Now, as for the stuff, it's simply crazy because the game lacks dungeons, though I wouldn't say winning the 100% it's challenging. many things are time-based, and without a walkthrough you can't know where and when to go, unless you explore the game deeply and have a lot of patience (because of the SLOOOOOWWWWW time).
So, yeah, winning stuff itself isn't hard, but finding it yes.

The game isn't that hard when talking about challenging... so to me it wouldn't deserve being called the hardest Zelda game to date.

 

[Zora]

I totally agree, but I think that Twilight Princess is an exception.
